Teen Gets Cigarettes from Mom for "Good Behavior"

Closer magazine, a tabloid in England reported a more-shocking-than-normal story this week. Really, this one is so bad, I feel a little guilty even repeating it. But Tracy Holt, mother of 13-year-old, Sam, actually "rewards" her daughter's good behavior by giving her cigarettes. The kid is up to a 15-cigarette-a-day habit (mom smokes about 20).

Mind you, "good behavior" in this case is a very relative term. This
tragic teenager is also indulging in all kinds of other risky things
from drinking to smoking marijuana --and she's having sex --all
with her mother's approval.

There are times when you say to yourself
every mom parents differently, and there are times when you think,
call the cops. Well, call the cops, the Bobbies or whatever they call
them across the Atlantic. Point is, this girl is being abused and somebody
should stop it. Take a look at this outrageous article, and then, please, co-rant with me.
